Medium and the wrong paragraph

It was going to be so long, too, a detailed analysis of my site’s font sizes, line heights and margins; how they all subtly affect each other achieving harmony and readability. But it either looks alright or not.

Really? I think so. Too much reaching between lines. These big gaps break up the text, make it less fluid. The paragraph bottom margin is 30 pixels, a little less than the 33 pixel line height.

As a consequence, Medium looks like a Word document, which sits uncomfortably with the cool colours and tasteful typeface (Freight Text). Better, I think, to aim for a space between paragraphs of around half the line height (16 and 28 pixels in my case).
